undercover blues

based on the overwhelming success of my last interactive post (downloads in double figures? god is dead!)

an unoriginal this time

of equal or lesser quality

I'd post the lyrics but I fear I got them mostly wrong..

You Already Know (http://www.mediafire.com/file/gnxdmevhmtm/youalreadyknow.mp3)

When the ashtray starts talking back
and criticises you for all that you lack
be sure to separate what is fiction
from what is fact

When the red label becomes a makeshift blindfold
Maybe then you won’t feel so compelled to hold
His hand

when you see me in a crowded room
don’t act like you don’t already know
when you see my eyes linger on long before I go
don’t act like you don’t already know
because you already know

When the moon gives you an astral frown
When the stars berate you and put you down
And group together like a schoolyard coterie
And leave you out

When conversations are just pages from
The worst fucking novel you’ve ever read
In your whole life

when you see by some cruel coincidence
don’t act like you don’t already know
when you see my eyes linger on long before I go
don’t act like you don’t already know
cos you already know

Proverbial Blues

A long, long way into the distance
But not so far from where you’d grown
Stood a mountain of complications
The likes of which I’d never known

Sound familiar?

You invited me indoors
For coffee and a slice of lemon
I rambled up the stairwell
Like a lanky Armageddon

Does this sound familiar?

You threw yourself upon me
Seemingly when I least expected
Still it’s better to be startled
Than stone-faced, sombre and dejected

Does this sound familiar? Does this sound Familiar?

I’m the messiah for the maudlin
The prince of the thieves
And you could cut my legs from under me
If I’d just get off my knees

The valerian kicked in
And my anatomy went limp
And I wondered where along the timeline
I became such a god awful wimp

Does this sound familiar?

I tossed and I turned and I turned and I tossed
And then I turned some more
My sheets got caught amid the whirlwind
And I forgot what I’d been lying there for

Does this sound familiar?

I lit a lamp in light
Of all that I had sought to ruminate
But in the depths of my mind
A fear began to illuminate

Does this sound familiar? Does this sound familiar?

I’m the messiah for the maudlin
The prince of the thieves
And you could cut my legs from under me
If I’d just get off my knees

Now my body feels isolated
And my words are just a shield
And I’m judging every passer-by
Like a contemporary Holden Caulfield
How do you fight those inhibitions
that keep you surly and aware?
Just borrow some courage from the Dutch
And brother, you won’t even care

I’m the messiah for the maudlin
The prince of the thieves
And you could cut my legs from under me
If I could just get off my knees
